It comes with plenty of configuration options for controlling\nthe search scope and offers many ways of removing duplicates. For maximum flexibility,\nit integrates well with other Unix utilities like `find` and it speaks JSON, so you have a lot\nof control over the search and cleanup process.\n\n`fclones` treats your data seriously. You can inspect and modify the list of duplicate files before removing them.\nThere is also a `--dry-run` option that can tell you exactly what changes on the file system would be made.\n\n`fclones` has been implemented in Rust with a strong focus on high performance on modern hardware. \nIt employs several optimization techniques not present in many other programs. \nIt adapts to the type of the hard drive, orders file operations by physical data placement on HDDs, \nscans directory tree in parallel and uses prefix compression of paths to reduce memory consumption when working \nwith millions of files. It is also friendly to page-cache and does not push out your data out of cache.\nAs a result, `fclones` easily outperforms many other popular duplicate finders by a wide margin \non either SSD or HDD storage.\n\n`fclones` is available on a wide variety of operating systems, but",
